In Loving Memory of Carla Cavin:

August 24th, 1952 – June 21, 2022

Carla Faye Cavin passed away peacefully in her home on June 21, 2022, in the presence of her loving husband, son, family and friends. Carla was born in Hutchinson, Kansas on August 24th, 1952, to parents Carl and Donna Vincent. She attended Buhler High School and Hutchinson Community College. On November 24th, 1979, she, along with her sons BJ and Mikey, were joined in marriage to Don Cavin and they settled in as a family in Dewey, OK. For 29 years, Carla worked as a staff support specialist and bus driver for the Dewey School system where she enjoyed her time with both kids and staff. She also managed the books for the family business.

Carla also enjoyed working in the yard, mowing and tending to plants and flowers. She was an avid sports fan and tireless supporter of her two favorite teams - the Dewey Bulldoggers and OSU Cowboys.

Carla fought a courageous battle for breath with COPD that in the end limited her mobility and diminished her physical capabilities but was unable to diminish her outlook on life and love for family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Carl and Donna, her oldest son BJ, parents-in law Bill and Lois and sister-in law Gayle. She is survived by her husband Don Cavin, son Mikey Cavin, brothers Ron Vincent and Don Miller and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and uncles. The family is very appreciative of the end-of-life care and support provided by Compassus and the tireless care provided by Becky Vincent and our special friend, Judy Sanders.

A celebration of life and remembrance will be held at the Dewey High School Auditorium, Saturday, June 25th at 11:00 am, casual attire is expected. The family requests that in leu of flowers, donations can be made to Dewey High School Athletic Department or the Dewey Fire Department.
